AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 vs Intel Core 3 100HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a dominant performance gap in favor of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 across nearly every benchmark. Out of 15 shared tests, the AMD part claims 14 wins, with the Intel Core 3 100HL taking only a single victory. The margin of victory is often substantial, frequently exceeding 100% in multi-threaded workloads.

The largest single delta appears in the PassMark find prime numbers test, where AMD scores 136 versus Intel's 48, a 183.3% advantage. This indicates a massive throughput difference in integer-heavy iterative workloads. Extended instruction throughput follows closely, with AMD at 32,803 versus Intel's 12,463, a 163.2% lead. Data compression shows AMD at 461,195 against 202,225, a 128.1% delta. Integer math performance delivers a 126.6% gap, with AMD scoring 127,573 and Intel 56,308.

Cinebench R15 multicore results are particularly lopsided: AMD posts 3,234 versus Intel's 1,506, a 114.7% difference. PassMark multithread shows a 107% gap (36,402 versus 17,586), while physics scoring delivers a 106.4% delta (1,915 versus 928). Random string sorting produces a 110.2% advantage (48,824 versus 23,223). Floating point math shows a 90% lead (80,023 versus 42,108). Data encryption yields a 91.6% gap (22,929 versus 11,964).

The margins narrow considerably in Cinebench R23 multicore, where AMD's 19,095 beats Intel's 14,948 by 27.7%. Single-thread performance tells a different story. In Cinebench R23 singlecore, Intel edges ahead with 2,110 versus AMD's 2,054, a 2.7% win. However, Cinebench R15 singlecore reverses that result: AMD scores 313 versus Intel's 212, a 47.6% advantage. PassMark single-thread also favors AMD, at 4,050 versus 3,735, an 8.4% delta. The database's average benchmark score reinforces the overall picture: AMD sits at 56,306, while Intel records 23,545.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design lineages. AMD uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation built on a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c core arrangement. Intel counters with Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-PS codename, from the Core 3 generation. The manufacturing process differs sharply: AMD is fabricated on a 4 nm TSMC node, while Intel uses a 10 nm process from its own foundry.

Core counts and thread counts diverge significantly. AMD provides 12 cores and 24 threads, while Intel offers 8 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks are close, with AMD at 2.00 GHz and Intel at 2.10 GHz, but boost clocks favor AMD substantially: 5.20 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core. L2 cache differs, with AMD at 1 MB per core and Intel at 2 MB per core. L3 cache goes the other way: AMD has 16 MB while Intel has 12 MB shared.

Memory support shows another split. AMD accepts DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. AMD lists a memory bandwidth figure of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel entry has no recorded bandwidth value. ECC memory is supported on AMD but not on Intel. PCIe connectivity differs as well: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while Intel offers Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics also diverge. AMD ships the Radeon 890M, while Intel carries Iris Xe Graphics with 48 execution units. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket FP8, Intel uses Socket 1700. AMD's die size is listed at 233 mm², while Intel's die size is not recorded. The market segment classification places AMD as Mobile and Intel as Desktop, despite Intel's relatively modest specifications. The production status for both is Active. AMD's release date is recorded as January 4, 2026, while Intel's is April 7, 2024. Neither part has a launch MSRP in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 dominates in every multi-threaded category measured. The data shows overwhelming leads in Cinebench R15 multicore (114.7%), PassMark multithread (107%), and PassMark physics (106.4%). Content creation scenarios that rely on heavy parallel workloads will clearly favor AMD. The compression and encryption results reinforce this: AMD's 128.1% lead in data compression and 91.6% lead in data encryption position it strongly for archival tasks, database operations, and secure communication workloads.

The integer math and extended instruction gaps (126.6% and 163.2% respectively) suggest AMD holds a decisive edge in scientific computing, financial modeling, and any workload that executes many arithmetic operations per cycle. The find prime numbers result, with a 183.3% delta, points to exceptional raw throughput in looping, branch-heavy code. Random string sorting, a proxy for text processing and data manipulation, shows AMD ahead by 110.2%.

Floating point math favors AMD by 90%, indicating strong performance in simulation and rendering tasks that rely on non-integer arithmetic. Even in single-threaded PassMark tests, AMD leads by 8.4%, meaning it wins both parallel and lightly threaded workloads in that metric suite.

The Intel Core 3 100HL claims exactly one benchmark victory: Cinebench R23 singlecore. The 2.7% margin is narrow, and it does not translate to a broader single-thread trend, since AMD wins Cinebench R15 singlecore by 47.6%. Intel's part also has a higher base clock (2.10 GHz versus 2.00 GHz), which may contribute to its edge in that specific R23 test. However, the overall single-thread picture from the database favors AMD. The Intel part's 76th percentile versus AMD's 92nd percentile among all CPUs in the database confirms the performance hierarchy.

The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core for both parts. Both use dual-channel memory buses and neither has an unlocked multiplier. Die size is recorded only for AMD at 233 mm². The Intel part has no recorded die size. Transistor counts are absent for both. The AMD part number is 100-000001937, while Intel's part number is listed as unknown.

The TDP difference is notable: AMD lists 28 watts, while Intel lists 45 watts. This suggests the AMD part achieves its higher performance while drawing less power, though the database does not record measured power consumption. The process node advantage, 4 nm versus 10 nm, likely contributes to this efficiency gap. The PCIe lane difference (16 versus 8) means AMD offers more headroom for add-in devices, though both are limited to Gen 4 speeds.
